Planning the e-Portfolio

Purpose

As a capstone project for the Masters of Education Technology (MET) program at the University of British Columbia (UBC), this e-portfolio will demonstrate skills and competencies in accessing, analyzing, creating, reflecting and taking action within the field of educational technology. Through synthesizing my experiences and learning, I will validate my expertise within this growing area of endeavour. Through a focused reflection, I will create new artifacts, connect learning in new ways and reflect deeply on why I engage in teaching and learning with educational technology.

Audience

This e-porfolio is created for my instructor and classmates in the ETEC 590 course. It will be shared with current and former professional colleagues, MET candidates (past, present & future), other educators interested in ed. tech., and potential partners in teaching/learning ventures around the globe. The completed portfolio will serve as a model for students and educators interested in the application of electronic portfolios within a post-secondary context.

Objectives

By creating this e-portfolio, I will continue to learn through the complex and evolving field of educational technology to:

﻿present evidence of familiarity, understanding and ability

demonstrate links between research and practice

reflect on personal learning to build new connections and adaptive knowledge

build on relationships and communities of practice

share a compelling journey of life long renovation that examines a 'value creation story' (Wenger & DeLaat, 2011)
